They do work awesome, had one on my 10-wheeler that had the drain plug on the side of the pan.I'm not too crazy about putting it on a vehicle that has the drain plug on the bottom of the pan, always wondered if someone was to run over something on the road, would it snap that off? (if the drain plug is facing towards the ground).
They've never had a reported incident of that happening. At least not yet. I suppose it could happen. The one with the nipple might be a little more likely for that to happen with, but again, hasn't happened yet.

Yeah...well, there was that...lol

I know that at 60 mph Im gettin 14.5 on the avg. Ive started running a little harder and I drop to 14 running 62-65. Makes it a little easier to hit the 50mph target on a straight through run. Gotta start workin on the modifications to get the mpg up. Im pretty sure 16 is there.

Good news is hardly any vehicles in Detroit!

Odd how that works. One Monday tons of units stacked up, the next hardly any. I love this business.
